Looks like it'll be a good show.

If you have the chance, be sure to check out the Mission Inn itself, it's pretty incredible.

3. Thanks GReedDiamond

Since I'll probably be showing up early I should have time to check out the Mission Inn itself. I've actually never been in this building and from the photos of it, it looks very nice indeed.


Peace,

4. Captain (really Admiral now) Paul Watson Speaking

Here's a video of Captain Paul Watson speaking at a London international dive show last year.

Excerpt from his speech.

"I thought to myself, why were the Soviets killing these whales? These incredibly intelligent, socially complex creatures. They don't eat Sperm Whale meat, they use the oil for lubricating high heat resistant machinery. And one of the things the Soviets want sperm acidity oil for or did want it was for the manufacture of intercontinental ballistic missiles. And I just thought to myself here we are destroying these beautiful creatures, these intelligent animals for the purpose of making a weapon meant for the mass extermination of human beings, and that's when it struck me like a bolt of lightning that we are insane.
